The story begins in an unstable world, Krypton, where Jor-El and his wife, Lara, live. After General Zod, the warlord of Krypton, and his followers dispose the council, they go after Jor-El and Lara, who have just had the first natural-born child of Krypton in centuries, Kal-El. When realizing what would soon become of Krypton along with the war that Zod let loose, Jor-El and Lara reluctantly place their child in a spacecraft that is set to travel to Earth. When General Zod comes to stop the spacecraft from leaving, he murders Jor-El and was unable to stop the spacecraft from leaving the doomed planet. After being captured and arrested, Zod and his followers are banished to the Phantom Zone. Krypton explodes as predicted and they are freed and on the hunt for Kal-El.
